Bring Back Some Glowsticks, Would Ya?

Klaxons

Klaxons is set to release yet another single from their Mercury Award winning album, 'Myths Of The Near Future’. The 'As Above, So Below' single will be digitally released in France on October 22nd with a Justice remix as well as a French version of the original track.

As Above, So Below (French Version)

Speaking of Klaxons, the jealousy revives as the occasional writer is going to catch the energetic band live next week. It is totally saddening to live in this good-live-music-deprived nation. I think the organisers should consider changing their jobs. I mean Whitney Houston ? Shaggy ? K-Ci & Jojo ? Oh come on, you've got to be kidding me.

Kate Nash covers Monkeys

Kate Nash

Kate Nash appeared on the Jo Whiley Show and performed a cover of Arctic Monkeys' 'Flourescent Adolescent' in the Live Lounge. It is definitely fresh to hear a piano rendition of this already brilliant track, and Kate has done a pretty good job on it.
